Done it twice in the last year, though we didn't do the redeye from LAX (live in SE Az so LAX is fairly close). Chose instead to to FFmiles to Miami and overnight in both directions. Aircraft are fairly new Airbus 320s, service is great, seats are pretty cramped (it is an airplane after all), good food (for a plane), I'm pretty sure they're all champagne flights so the Red Stripe, Rum Punch and cheap champers all flow pretty freely. I'll use em again

We alternate between AA and JA depending on price, free miles, etc. One of the best things about JA is that you get to Bonaire earlier and you leave at a much more civilized time than AA. Last Dec our flight was late leaving BOS and they held the plane in Jamaica so people could make the connection. And there is that Ting ....

For our trip across New Years, Faith and I flew on Air Jamaica. Flights were OK, but AJ certainly ordered their planes with No Room In Coach. Faith was uncomfortable in terms of leg room, and her legs are shorter than mine. I was underwhelmed by the pilot on the return flight.

I've flown from BWI to BON twice (next trip in 25 days) and never had a problem. I do like the early arrival/late departure schedule and thanks to BT guidance my second trip with early luggage checkin was BRILLIANT!

I've never seen Ting on Bonaire, but you can pick some up at the airport in Montego Bay. I've also been seeing it at more and more Shaw's and Stop and Shop supermarkets in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

If my layover in MON lasts longer than a dash to the plane this time I will try to find some. If not, I may email a friend of mine that works AJ's ticket counter at BON and see if she can work something out sent as freight or something.

Oh, no luggage problems with either...only airline problem were the two broken AA planes...the other was from SJ to Bon, didn't end up leaving SJ until 8PM or so...definitely be prepared and bring a book or something to pass the time in case you run into problems!

We just flew AJ from LAX. They were good, no in flight fasion show. All the flights were a bit early arriving for us which was nice. The AJ flight attendents were about the nicest I have ever seen. Lugage all made it OK. Some of the planes had farily worn interiors with very little padding left in the seats so grab a pillow and blanket for extra padding (This is not a slam at AJ I have seen this on many US carriers) On the LAX to MBJ they had a lot of announcements and the lights were on for longer than I would have liked. I had hoped to sleep a little but was not able to. The 5 hour layover in MBJ is long, really nothing much to do there the shops are good for an hour max. The airport was very quiet when we arrived then got very crowded after an hour or two.

Hi, Gary! It is a delicious grapefruit soda...not too sweet and just right! Try it...you'll get hooked like the rest of us. I am not a soda lover at all and I couldn't get enough ting on our last flights! Many, many years ago Hoffman beverages put out a grapefruit soda my Dad used to love...it reminded me of that. Sooo good! Try it if you fly AJ and if you get to the islands. Carole
